I was so stoked to get it back on the road. I last drove it 44 days ago.

I upgraded so many systems. The power steering was great. The disk brakes acted as they should. The lowered height, with Bilsteins and sway bars made it handle really well. The full syncro trans (still on the column) was nice to use. The 2:76 rear end was such an improvement over the 4:11s that were in it. Although it kicked my butt twice, the Centerforce clutch works perfect. Last but not least, the 396 runs really well. I fried the tires a couple of times. It has a lot of power.

I've got a ways to go still.
